If the corporation doesn't care, why are you spending energy complaining about it?

Are you hoping to enact change, or are you just complaining?

Sometimes corporations budge due to outcry (or regulations [1]).

GitHub's "designers" and PMs knew exactly what they were doing and they knew exactly what would happen. They still went ahead with it. No idea why you feel the need to defend them.

I'm not defending them, I'm being critical of the approach taken by the OP, because of the clear attempt to rile people into picking up their pitchforks.

I'd rather not be bothered by this at all and just move on, but it's something I care about - and hundreds of others with me.

It's ok that you don't care about this, so feel free to put your pitchfork down.
